Ok so this is the scenario.. .
There is a house on top of a hill.
There are rainwater tanks near the house on top of the hill.
About 100 meters down the hill there is an opening in the canopy of the bush that allows ample light in.
We want to setup a reservoir at the top of the hill to mix nutrients in and gravity feed the garden which is about 100m down the hill.

I have never hooked up anything like this and was wondering how you guys recommend going about it.
The plants will be in 60 liter garbage cans with 100% coco. I have lots of canna coco nutrients which is why I decided to use coco.
Should I have 2 res's on top of the hill to feed 17 garbage cans?
How thick should the hose be? 19mm or 25mm?
Any other tips?

How big of Rez do u plan on setting up? Is there running water at the house? Gate valve out button of ur Rez. To 1/2" or 3/4 black poly pile. Run 1/4" drip line with 6.6gal emitter spikes. If u don't have enough pressure you can split it into 2 halves.
Www.dripworks.com has all u need.
